WEEKLY REPUBLICAN PHOEliTX. AKIZOXA, FKIDAY MOBNING, APRIL 3, 1903. VOL. XIII. NO. 322 THIRTEENTH TEAB. THE m THE PEES The First Speech on Delivered at The Doctrine Which Repels European Agression Is Not Now International Law, but President Roosevelt Hopes That It Will Become Recognized as Such Its Operation in the Venezuelan and Isthmian Canal j Questions A Larger American Navy as an Instrument of Peace in the World. Chicago, April 2. Six thousand people in a hall, the seating capacity of which is but 5,000 gave encouragement to President Rccsevelt when he stepped upon the stage of the Auditorium tonight. Tha great building has held many a throng, but never one that was mere unstinted in its applause "or any man than the crowd that filled it tonight. From the first floor to the roof it was packed to its utmust capacity. Every scat was occupied and although the aisles were k;pt clear, all the space in the lobbies and on the stairways was taken, and even the passageways leading to the hall from the lower lioor were jammed with hundreds of men who were utterly unable to hear a word of the president's address. All that came to them wss the rsar of applause from within and with such loyal tongues did they accept their cue, that several times they were giving vent to cheers when those on the inside had died away and the president had re-numcd his address. Twice during the evening Chief of Police O'Neill was compelled to send word to the patriots without the door that they must cheer in better time or he would be compelled to clear the stairway. In the street outside for more than an hour before the time set for the opening of the president's address small assemblies of policemen were kept busy. Thousands o; people filled Wabash avenue in the rear oi the Auditorium, jammed Michigan avenue in front of it, and blockaded to the bet of its ability Congress street, which runs at the side of it. The officers were stretched in double Hne along all the walks immediately adjoining the building and no person who could not exhibit credentials entitling him t admission to the hall was permitted upon the walk. The jam at the dcors of the hall for thirty minutes proceeding the time at which the president was to open his address was of a character to test the patience of the police without and within. When the president escorted by th? members of the local committee appeared on the platform he was met with great enthusiasm, the vast rowd rising to its feet, and supplementing its hearty cheers w'th waving programmes and fluttering handkerchief. The president acknowledged hi.-: reception with repeated bows, and took his seat between Franklin MacVeagh, the chairman of the committee, and Mayor Harrison. As soon as his voice could be heard. Mr. MacVeagh in a few words announced that the nation's chief executive would be made welcome to the city by Mayor Harrison, who J men spoke briefly, extending to the i president a hearty welcome and ex- pressing the pleasure felt by the nconl? f Chicago at his visit, and offering to him their best wishes for a happy and pleasant trip during his two months' vacation. MacVeagh introduced the president to his audience. At the conclusion of the address there was renewed and continued applause and while the larger part of the audience was leaving the hall the presi- reni was noliling an imnrnmntu rfmn tion on the platform, where ill the I members of the committee that could ' be seated with him on the platform and many men from the audience pressed around him to offer their congratulations on his address. Scant time was allowed for this, however, and the secret service men closed about him during the short handshaking and quickly escorted him back to his apartments in the hotel. Immediately preceeding his address I in the Auditorium, the president was entertained at dinner in the banquet hall of the Auditorium hotel by th'? members of the Local Entertainment committee. About fifteen guests were present beside the president and his party. F. O. Low den presided- and announced that there would be no speeches. President Roosevelt remained at the dinner, which lasted from 6:30 o'clock until S:05 when the time hadi arrived for him to enter the Auditorium hall. In the course o" his address the president said: "Mr. Chairman, men: Ladies and Gentle- i VISIT THE OSTRICH FARM and Feather Salesroom Located in Capitol Addition at end of Washington St. Car Linir.

"Ever since the time when we definitely extended our boundaries westward to the Pacific and southward to the Gulf, since the lime when the old Spanish and Portuguese colonies to the south of us asserted their indepznd-cr.ee, cur nation has insisted that because of its primacy in strength among the nations cf the western hemi-phcre it has certain duties and repson-sibilities which oblige it to take a leading part thereon. We hold that our Interests in this hemisphere aro qreater than those of any European power possibly can be, and that our duty to ourselves and to the weaker republics who are our neighbors requires us to see that none of the great military powers from across the seas shall encroach upon the territory o! the American republics or accuhe control thereover. "This policy, therefore, not only forbids us to acquiesce in such territorial acquisition, but also causes us to object to the acquirement of a control which would in its effect . be equal to territorial aggrandizement. Thio is why the United States has steadily believed that the construction of the great Isthmian canal, the building ot which is to stand as the ereatest material fc-at of the twentieth century greater than any similar feat in any preceding century should be done by no foreign nation but by ourselves, through the territory of one of our smaller sister republics. We have been scrupulously careful to abstain from perpetrating any wrong upon any of these republics in ihis matter. We do not wish to interfere with their rights In the least; but. while carefully safeguarding them, to build the canal ourselves under provisions which will enable us, if necessary, to police and protect it, and to guarantee its neutrality, we being the sole guarantor. Our intention was steadfast; we desired action taken so that the canal could always be used by us in time of peace and war alike, and in time of war could never be used to our detriment by any r.ntion which was hostile to us. Such action, by the circumstances surround- '"ff it, was necessarily for the head nt and not the detriment , of th'j ad- jacent American republics. "After considerably more than half century these objects have been exactly fulfilled by the legislation and treaties of the last two years. Two years ago we were no further advanced toward the construction of th Isthmian canal on our terms than wo had been during the preceding eighty years. By the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, ratified in December, 1901, an old treaty witn Great Britain, which had been h(?I''1 to stand in tne way- was abrogat- ed and it was agreed that the canal should be constructed under the aus- ! pices of the government of the CniteJ States, and that this government should have the exclusive right to regulate and manage it. becoming the ' sole guarantor of its neutrality. "It was expressly stipulated, furthermore, that this guaranty of neutrality should not prevent the United States from taking anv measures which it found necessary in order to secure by its own forces the defense of the I'nited States and the maintenance of public order. Immediately following this treaty congress passsd a law under which the president was authorized to endeavor to secure a treaty for acquiring the right to finish the construction of, and to optiate. the Panama canal, which had already been begun in the territory of Colombia by a French company. The rights of thl company were Accordingly obtained and a treaty negotiated with the republic of Colombia. This treaty has just been ratifii-d by the senate. It reserves all of Colombia's rights, while guaranteeing all of our own and those or neutral nations, and specifically permits us to take any and all measures for the defeni-e of the canal, and for the preservation of our interest., whenever in our judgment an exigency may arit:e which calls for action on our part. In other words., thee two treaties, and the legislation to carry them out, have resulted in our obtaining on exactly the terms we desired the right and privileges which we had so long sought in vain. These treaties are among the most important that we have ever negotiated in their effect upon the future welfare of thi3 country, and mark a memorable triumph of American diplomacy on of those fortunate triumphs, moreover, which redounds to the benefit of thi entire world. "About the same time trouble arose in connection with the republic of Venezuela because of certain wrongs alleged to have ben committed, and debts overdue, by this republic to citizens of various foreign powers, notably England, Germany, and Italy. After failure to reach an agreement these powers began a blockade of the Venezuelan coast .and a condition of quasi-war ensued. The concern of our government was of course not to interfere needlessly in any quarrel so far as it did not touch our interests or our honor, and not to toko the attitude of protecting from coercion any power unless we were willing to espouse th-. quarrel of that power, but to keep an attitude of watchful vigilance and sec that there was no infringement of the Monroe doctrine no acquirement of territorial rights by a European power at the expense of a wer.k sister republic whether this acquisition might Jf- torTo?" exorcise of control which would in effect be equal to such seizure." The president then reached the correspondence with Germany and Great Dritain in relation to their intentions in Venezuela and his message to congress upon the subject. He continued: "Both powers assured us in explicit terms that there was not the siifrhte3t intention on their part doctrine, and this assurance was kept with an honorable good faith which merits full acknosvledgment on our prt. At the same time, the existence of hostilities in a region so near our own borders was fraught with such possibilities of danger in the future that it was obviously no less our duty to ourselves than our duty to humanity to endeavor to put an end to that. Accordingly, by an offer of our goo.1 services in a spirit of frank friendliness to all parties concerned, a spirit in which they quickly and cordially v.,,..u, c cu.. u iwui.iion oi. peace tne contending parties ung parties agreeing 1 that the matters which they could not,T" . Xf ,','. feme among tnemseives should be referred to the Hague Tribunal for set tlement, lne Lnited States had most fortunately already been able to set an example to other nations by utilizing the great posibilities for good contain ed in The Hague Tribunal, a question I at issue betwen ourselves and the tl Dtiblic of Mexico being the first submitted to this international court of arbitration. "The terms which we have secured as those under which the Isthmian canal is to be built, and the course of events in the Venezuela matter, have shown not merely the ever growing influence of the I'nited Stateti in the western hemisphere, but also, I think I may safely say, have exemplified the firm purpose of the United States that Its growth and influence and power shall redound not to the harm but to the benefit of our sister republics whose strength is less. Our growth, therefore, is beneficial to mankind in genera). We do not intend to assume any position which can give just offense to our neighbors. Our adherence to the rule of human right is not merely profession. The history of our dealings with Cuba shows that we reduce it to performance."The Monroe doctrine is not international law, and though I think one day it may become such, this is not necessary as long as it remains a car dinal feature of our foreign policy and as long as we possess both the will and the strength to make it effective. This last point, my fellow-citizens, is all important, and is one which as a people we can never afford to forget. 1 believe in the Monroe doctrine with all my heart and soul; I am convinced that the immense majority of ourfel-ic.v-countrymen so believe in it: but I would infinitely prefer to see us abandon it than to see us put it forward and bluster about it, and yet fail to build up the efficient fighting strength which in the last resort can alone make it respected by any strong for eign power whose interest it may ever happen to be to violate it. "Roasting and blustering are as objectionable among nations as among individuals, and the public men of a irreat nation ewe it to their sense of national self-respect to speak courteously of foreign powers, just as i brave and self-respectinc man treats all around him courteously. But though to boast is bad. and causelessly to insult another, worse; yet worse than all is it to be guilty of boastinc. even without insult, and when called to the proof to be unable to make such boasting good. There is a homelv old adage which runs: 'Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.' If the American nation will speak softly, and yet build, and keep at a pitch of the highest training, a thoroughly efficient navy, the Monroe doctrine will go far. I ask you to think over this. If you do, you will come to the conclusion that it is mere plain common ser"", so obviously sound that only the blind can fail to see its truth and only the weakest and most irresolute can fail to desire to put it into force." President Rosevelt concluded his address with a reference to the growth of the navy and the necessity of a still greater growth. He said in conclusion: "It is too late to prepare for war when war has ceme; and if we only prepare sufficiently no war will ever come. We wish a powerful and efficient navy, not f."-purposes of war, but as the surest guaranty of peace. If we have such a navy if we keep on building it up we may rest assured that there is but the smallest chance that trouble will ever com- to this nation: and we may likewise rest assured that no forei power will ever quarrel with us about the Monroe doctrine.'

General Davis closes his report by saying: "The Old Pandita sees that the Americans are not going to leave the lake. His people see the heavy wagons come and go, he hears of the road building from Iligan, and he has at last visited the camp and acknowledged American supremacy."

Dcs Moines, la., April 2. Three hundred' democrats attended the Jeffcrson-ian banquet tonight and the demands for tickets could not be met. The attendance was representative of the democratic party throughout the state. The principal speakers were W. J. Bryan and Former Vice-President A. E. Stevenson. Mr. liryan referred to Governor Cun-mins as at the head of a protest in Iowa, "against the domination of the republican party by the corporations," and he continued: "He isgoing- to try to ingraft the 'Iowa idea' in the national republican platform. While he seems destined to fail in his purpose and while he may support the republican ticket no matter how odious the domination of his party by corporations may become, let us encouiage him, for every word that he speaks in favor o" tariff reform or anti-trust legislation will have an educational influence." o A TENEMENT FIRE. One Person Burned and Sixty-Two Families Homeless. New York. April 2. One person so badly burned as to be unrecognizable, ;ht others injured, a panic in which sixty-two families were driven into the street and a property loss of $10,000 make the result of a fire which started tonight in a . seven-story tenement house in Rivington street. The fire started under a stairway on the ground floor hall. Most of the tenants were at supper at the time and those who got out of the building were forced to use the fire escapes.

Boston, Mass., April 2. Elihu Roo secretary of war, and United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa- chusetts were the guests of honor and . . tne Principal speakers tonight at the annual dinner of the Home Market The occa- sion was nf sie-nii inlersf hnran the speeches of Secretary Root and Senator Lodge were regarded particularly as thp wnrrfc nt the rlnt!n!etpit!n Washington, on the anticipated issues ; r the next national canvass. Secretary Root spoke on the tariff. He said in part: "Tuere is no fct:sh in the tariff schedules and no sacrcdness in particular rates on duty. If through original error or changes of condition the provisions of the law work ill to the country then at the proper time and in the proper way a sensible people will charge the h.w: T a law is, waking well as a. whole common sense requires that we- should endure some faults, even though they be serious, rather than destroy the general good effect by constant tinkering. "A revision of the tariff is a great and difficult task, not to be undertaken except for grave and serious reasons. "The decreases of an absolute monarchy can make andi change the tariff laws without discussion or delay, but 14,000,000 voters, represented by S6S congressmen and ninety senators cannot. The effect of this unnecessary discussion furnishes the chief reason why revision should not be undertaken until it becomes a real necessity. "A second consideration is that you cannot get rid of the trutts by revising the tariff, unless you are ready to reduce the duties in the classes of manufacture in which the so-called trusts are enegoged. that is to say, in all principal kinds of manufacture, to such an extent as to put an end to all American manufacture." Senator Lodge spoke of Canadian reciprocity, whose value, he said, had been much over-estimated and then he turned to the Philippines. WEATHER TODAY. Washington, April 2.

The athlete is very dependent up on the proper food. An athlete oi Muncie, Ind., writes: "From a frait, sickly college student of scarcely six score pounds the pure food Grape-Nut?i has brought me, through persistent conscientious use, to a vigorous young athlete tipping the beam at 152 pounds. For two years the food has been to my stomach what pure air is to the lungs a source of vigor, health and vitality. "Having always been a great reader I frequently while at school missed my meals that I might devote the time to a favorite book, or else I hurried through the meal. This irregularity, omission and hurrying, together with the close application to study, finally told on my health until I was forced to leave school. I must have been in a truly pitiable, condition from what my friends have since told me although at the time I am sure I did not half realize the seriousness of my case. My parents decided to send me on a trip to Southern California. "On the train I made the acquaint ance of a Mr. Weissenger, a wholesale my aunt's sideboard.

The Contest Has Been Very Much Like Many That Take Place on the Other Side of the Northern Border. Monterey, Mexico, April 2. During the celebration here today of the victory of General Diaz' troops over the French at Puebla on April 2, 1867, after the disbanding of a grand parade on the Zaragosa Plaza, a mob of about 15,000 citizens, partisans of Francisco Reyes, who is one of the crndidates opposing Governor Bernardo Reyei. late minister of war in President Diaz' cabinet, marched in a body to the resi dence of Governor Reyes and began to heap abuse upon the governor, greeting him with a shower of stones and yelling "Death to Reyes" and other cries. The celebration of Diaz' victory began at 6 a. m.. when the national flag had been unfurled above the public building and the various military bands gathered on the Zaragosa plaza. on which Is situated the residence ot Governor Reyes, and at 10 a. rn. there was a band concert on the plaza, and just after the termination of the concert difficulties took place between the partisans of the various candidates for governor, which led to the formation of a large mob of those who favor Francisco Reyes for governor. This mob marched In a body to Governor Reyes' residence and began to abuse him. The governor in the meantime called upon the police by telephone for pro tection, and a squad immediately re sponded and began the work of dispersing the mob. A pitched battle ensued, in which stones, sticks and pistols pla. t J prominent 'i .'Jpls.

New Orleans, April 2. With the successful joining today of the ends of thu crib work leading from either side of the broken Hymelia levee, the critical stage is considered to have passed in the closing of the crevasse. Only the most unexpected misfortune resulting in the carrying away of the crib work can prevent the success of the undertaking, which is regarded as an unusual ti-iumph in crevasse fighting. Generally the river conditions are considered to be improved in Louisiana.

N10B REYES Unu ;al Political two citizens had been killed and large number of persons more or less seriously wounded. It is impossible to learn the names of the killed. It is also impossible to estimate the number or give the names of the wounded, aa the mob managed to make oft with their wounded comrades. Later in the day quiet was restored throughout the city, although there 1b an undercurrent of ill-feeling against Governor Reyes which may assert Itself and more trouble Is not unlikely to break out afresh at any moment. Ever since the retirement of Governor Reyes from the cabinet of President Dtax, where he filled the portfolio of minister of war, and since his resumption o? the duties of governor of Neuvo Leon he has not enjoyed his former popularity, and there have been -many circulars posted throughout the city favoring the candidacy of Francisco Reyes for governor. Although Francisco bears the same name as the governor, there is no family connection whatever between the two. The liberty which has prevailed during the present campaign of the various candidates for governor of the state of Nuevo Leon Is out of the ordinary, and for some unknown reason President Diaz has pursued the policy of "hands off" and has left the candidates to work out their own salvation. The various factions have been holding' open-air meetings in which orators have denounced each other, and th newspapers have published scandalous attijeks &M have de-ilt in diroci personal and outrageous Insults to men active in the contest. It is not expected tonight that any further disturbance such as today's will result. THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW. Beginning to Be Effective in Arizona Mines. Prescott, Ariz., April 2.

Chicago, April 2. Six thousand people in a hall, the seating capacity of which is but 5,000 gave encouragement to President Rccsevelt when he stepped upon the stage of the Auditorium tonight. Tha great building has held many a throng, but never one that was mere unstinted in its applause "or any man than the crowd that filled it tonight. From the first floor to the roof it was packed to its utmust capacity. Every scat was occupied and although the aisles were k;pt clear, all the space in the lobbies and on the stairways was taken, and even the passageways leading to the hall from the lower lioor were jammed with hundreds of men who were utterly unable to hear a word of the president's address.

Twice during the evening Chief of Police O'Neill was compelled to send word to the patriots without the door that they must cheer in better time or he would be compelled to clear the stairway. In the street outside for more than an hour before the time set for the opening of the president's address small assemblies of policemen were kept busy. Thousands o; people filled Wabash avenue in the rear oi the Auditorium, jammed Michigan avenue in front of it, and blockaded to the bet of its ability Congress street, which runs at the side of it. The officers were stretched in double Hne along all the walks immediately adjoining the building and no person who could not exhibit credentials entitling him t admission to the hall was permitted upon the walk. The jam at the dcors of the hall for thirty minutes proceeding the time at which the president was to open his address was of a character to test the patience of the police without and within. When the president escorted by th? members of the local committee appeared on the platform he was met with great enthusiasm, the vast rowd rising to its feet, and supplementing its hearty cheers w'th waving programmes and fluttering handkerchief. The president acknowledged hi.-: reception with repeated bows, and took his seat between Franklin MacVeagh, the chairman of the committee, and Mayor Harrison. As soon as his voice could be heard.

MacVeagh introduced the president to his audience. At the conclusion of the address there was renewed and continued applause and while the larger part of the audience was leaving the hall the presi- reni was noliling an imnrnmntu rfmn tion on the platform, where ill the I members of the committee that could ' be seated with him on the platform and many men from the audience pressed around him to offer their congratulations on his address. Scant time was allowed for this, however, and the secret service men closed about him during the short handshaking and quickly escorted him back to his apartments in the hotel. Immediately preceeding his address I in the Auditorium, the president was entertained at dinner in the banquet hall of the Auditorium hotel by th'? members of the Local Entertainment committee.

"Ever since the time when we definitely extended our boundaries westward to the Pacific and southward to the Gulf, since the lime when the old Spanish and Portuguese colonies to the south of us asserted their indepznd-cr.ee, cur nation has insisted that because of its primacy in strength among the nations cf the western hemi-phcre it has certain duties and repson-sibilities which oblige it to take a leading part thereon. We hold that our Interests in this hemisphere aro qreater than those of any European power possibly can be, and that our duty to ourselves and to the weaker republics who are our neighbors requires us to see that none of the great military powers from across the seas shall encroach upon the territory o! the American republics or accuhe control thereover. "This policy, therefore, not only forbids us to acquiesce in such territorial acquisition, but also causes us to object to the acquirement of a control which would in its effect . be equal to territorial aggrandizement. Thio is why the United States has steadily believed that the construction of the great Isthmian canal, the building ot which is to stand as the ereatest material fc-at of the twentieth century greater than any similar feat in any preceding century should be done by no foreign nation but by ourselves, through the territory of one of our smaller sister republics. We have been scrupulously careful to abstain from perpetrating any wrong upon any of these republics in ihis matter. We do not wish to interfere with their rights In the least; but. while carefully safeguarding them, to build the canal ourselves under provisions which will enable us, if necessary, to police and protect it, and to guarantee its neutrality, we being the sole guarantor. Our intention was steadfast; we desired action taken so that the canal could always be used by us in time of peace and war alike, and in time of war could never be used to our detriment by any r.ntion which was hostile to us. Such action, by the circumstances surround- '"ff it, was necessarily for the head nt and not the detriment , of th'j ad- jacent American republics. "After considerably more than half century these objects have been exactly fulfilled by the legislation and treaties of the last two years. Two years ago we were no further advanced toward the construction of th Isthmian canal on our terms than wo had been during the preceding eighty years. By the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, ratified in December, 1901, an old treaty witn Great Britain, which had been h(?I''1 to stand in tne way- was abrogat- ed and it was agreed that the canal should be constructed under the aus- ! pices of the government of the CniteJ States, and that this government should have the exclusive right to regulate and manage it. becoming the ' sole guarantor of its neutrality. "It was expressly stipulated, furthermore, that this guaranty of neutrality should not prevent the United States from taking anv measures which it found necessary in order to secure by its own forces the defense of the I'nited States and the maintenance of public order. Immediately following this treaty congress passsd a law under which the president was authorized to endeavor to secure a treaty for acquiring the right to finish the construction of, and to optiate. the Panama canal, which had already been begun in the territory of Colombia by a French company. The rights of thl company were Accordingly obtained and a treaty negotiated with the republic of Colombia. This treaty has just been ratifii-d by the senate. It reserves all of Colombia's rights, while guaranteeing all of our own and those or neutral nations, and specifically permits us to take any and all measures for the defeni-e of the canal, and for the preservation of our interest., whenever in our judgment an exigency may arit:e which calls for action on our part. In other words., thee two treaties, and the legislation to carry them out, have resulted in our obtaining on exactly the terms we desired the right and privileges which we had so long sought in vain. These treaties are among the most important that we have ever negotiated in their effect upon the future welfare of thi3 country, and mark a memorable triumph of American diplomacy on of those fortunate triumphs, moreover, which redounds to the benefit of thi entire world. "About the same time trouble arose in connection with the republic of Venezuela because of certain wrongs alleged to have ben committed, and debts overdue, by this republic to citizens of various foreign powers, notably England, Germany, and Italy. After failure to reach an agreement these powers began a blockade of the Venezuelan coast .and a condition of quasi-war ensued. The concern of our government was of course not to interfere needlessly in any quarrel so far as it did not touch our interests or our honor, and not to toko the attitude of protecting from coercion any power unless we were willing to espouse th-. quarrel of that power, but to keep an attitude of watchful vigilance and sec that there was no infringement of the Monroe doctrine no acquirement of territorial rights by a European power at the expense of a wer.k sister republic whether this acquisition might Jf- torTo?" exorcise of control which would in effect be equal to such seizure." The president then reached the correspondence with Germany and Great Dritain in relation to their intentions in Venezuela and his message to congress upon the subject. He continued: "Both powers assured us in explicit terms that there was not the siifrhte3t intention on their part doctrine, and this assurance was kept with an honorable good faith which merits full acknosvledgment on our prt. At the same time, the existence of hostilities in a region so near our own borders was fraught with such possibilities of danger in the future that it was obviously no less our duty to ourselves than our duty to humanity to endeavor to put an end to that. Accordingly, by an offer of our goo.1 services in a spirit of frank friendliness to all parties concerned, a spirit in which they quickly and cordially v.,,..u, c cu.. u iwui.iion oi. peace tne contending parties ung parties agreeing 1 that the matters which they could not,T" . Xf ,','. feme among tnemseives should be referred to the Hague Tribunal for set tlement, lne Lnited States had most fortunately already been able to set an example to other nations by utilizing the great posibilities for good contain ed in The Hague Tribunal, a question I at issue betwen ourselves and the tl Dtiblic of Mexico being the first submitted to this international court of arbitration. "The terms which we have secured as those under which the Isthmian canal is to be built, and the course of events in the Venezuela matter, have shown not merely the ever growing influence of the I'nited Stateti in the western hemisphere, but also, I think I may safely say, have exemplified the firm purpose of the United States that Its growth and influence and power shall redound not to the harm but to the benefit of our sister republics whose strength is less. Our growth, therefore, is beneficial to mankind in genera). We do not intend to assume any position which can give just offense to our neighbors. Our adherence to the rule of human right is not merely profession. The history of our dealings with Cuba shows that we reduce it to performance."The Monroe doctrine is not international law, and though I think one day it may become such, this is not necessary as long as it remains a car dinal feature of our foreign policy and as long as we possess both the will and the strength to make it effective. This last point, my fellow-citizens, is all important, and is one which as a people we can never afford to forget. 1 believe in the Monroe doctrine with all my heart and soul; I am convinced that the immense majority of ourfel-ic.v-countrymen so believe in it: but I would infinitely prefer to see us abandon it than to see us put it forward and bluster about it, and yet fail to build up the efficient fighting strength which in the last resort can alone make it respected by any strong for eign power whose interest it may ever happen to be to violate it. "Roasting and blustering are as objectionable among nations as among individuals, and the public men of a irreat nation ewe it to their sense of national self-respect to speak courteously of foreign powers, just as i brave and self-respectinc man treats all around him courteously. But though to boast is bad. and causelessly to insult another, worse; yet worse than all is it to be guilty of boastinc. even without insult, and when called to the proof to be unable to make such boasting good. There is a homelv old adage which runs: 'Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.' If the American nation will speak softly, and yet build, and keep at a pitch of the highest training, a thoroughly efficient navy, the Monroe doctrine will go far. I ask you to think over this. If you do, you will come to the conclusion that it is mere plain common ser"", so obviously sound that only the blind can fail to see its truth and only the weakest and most irresolute can fail to desire to put it into force." President Rosevelt concluded his address with a reference to the growth of the navy and the necessity of a still greater growth. He said in conclusion: "It is too late to prepare for war when war has ceme; and if we only prepare sufficiently no war will ever come. We wish a powerful and efficient navy, not f."-purposes of war, but as the surest guaranty of peace. If we have such a navy if we keep on building it up we may rest assured that there is but the smallest chance that trouble will ever com- to this nation: and we may likewise rest assured that no forei power will ever quarrel with us about the Monroe doctrine.'

Mr. liryan referred to Governor Cun-mins as at the head of a protest in Iowa, "against the domination of the republican party by the corporations," and he continued: "He isgoing- to try to ingraft the 'Iowa idea' in the national republican platform. While he seems destined to fail in his purpose and while he may support the republican ticket no matter how odious the domination of his party by corporations may become, let us encouiage him, for every word that he speaks in favor o" tariff reform or anti-trust legislation will have an educational influence." o A TENEMENT FIRE.

Boston, Mass., April 2. Elihu Roo secretary of war, and United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa- chusetts were the guests of honor and . . tne Principal speakers tonight at the annual dinner of the Home Market The occa- sion was nf sie-nii inlersf hnran the speeches of Secretary Root and Senator Lodge were regarded particularly as thp wnrrfc nt the rlnt!n!etpit!n Washington, on the anticipated issues ; r the next national canvass. Secretary Root spoke on the tariff. He said in part: "Tuere is no fct:sh in the tariff schedules and no sacrcdness in particular rates on duty. If through original error or changes of condition the provisions of the law work ill to the country then at the proper time and in the proper way a sensible people will charge the h.w: T a law is, waking well as a. whole common sense requires that we- should endure some faults, even though they be serious, rather than destroy the general good effect by constant tinkering. "A revision of the tariff is a great and difficult task, not to be undertaken except for grave and serious reasons. "The decreases of an absolute monarchy can make andi change the tariff laws without discussion or delay, but 14,000,000 voters, represented by S6S congressmen and ninety senators cannot. The effect of this unnecessary discussion furnishes the chief reason why revision should not be undertaken until it becomes a real necessity. "A second consideration is that you cannot get rid of the trutts by revising the tariff, unless you are ready to reduce the duties in the classes of manufacture in which the so-called trusts are enegoged. that is to say, in all principal kinds of manufacture, to such an extent as to put an end to all American manufacture." Senator Lodge spoke of Canadian reciprocity, whose value, he said, had been much over-estimated and then he turned to the Philippines. WEATHER TODAY. Washington, April 2.

The Contest Has Been Very Much Like Many That Take Place on the Other Side of the Northern Border. Monterey, Mexico, April 2. During the celebration here today of the victory of General Diaz' troops over the French at Puebla on April 2, 1867, after the disbanding of a grand parade on the Zaragosa Plaza, a mob of about 15,000 citizens, partisans of Francisco Reyes, who is one of the crndidates opposing Governor Bernardo Reyei. late minister of war in President Diaz' cabinet, marched in a body to the resi dence of Governor Reyes and began to heap abuse upon the governor, greeting him with a shower of stones and yelling "Death to Reyes" and other cries. The celebration of Diaz' victory began at 6 a. m.. when the national flag had been unfurled above the public building and the various military bands gathered on the Zaragosa plaza. on which Is situated the residence ot Governor Reyes, and at 10 a. rn. there was a band concert on the plaza, and just after the termination of the concert difficulties took place between the partisans of the various candidates for governor, which led to the formation of a large mob of those who favor Francisco Reyes for governor. This mob marched In a body to Governor Reyes' residence and began to abuse him. The governor in the meantime called upon the police by telephone for pro tection, and a squad immediately re sponded and began the work of dispersing the mob.

With the successful joining today of the ends of thu crib work leading from either side of the broken Hymelia levee, the critical stage is considered to have passed in the closing of the crevasse. Only the most unexpected misfortune resulting in the carrying away of the crib work can prevent the success of the undertaking, which is regarded as an unusual ti-iumph in crevasse fighting. Generally the river conditions are considered to be improved in Louisiana.

N10B REYES Unu ;al Political two citizens had been killed and large number of persons more or less seriously wounded. It is impossible to learn the names of the killed. It is also impossible to estimate the number or give the names of the wounded, aa the mob managed to make oft with their wounded comrades. Later in the day quiet was restored throughout the city, although there 1b an undercurrent of ill-feeling against Governor Reyes which may assert Itself and more trouble Is not unlikely to break out afresh at any moment. Ever since the retirement of Governor Reyes from the cabinet of President Dtax, where he filled the portfolio of minister of war, and since his resumption o? the duties of governor of Neuvo Leon he has not enjoyed his former popularity, and there have been -many circulars posted throughout the city favoring the candidacy of Francisco Reyes for governor. Although Francisco bears the same name as the governor, there is no family connection whatever between the two. The liberty which has prevailed during the present campaign of the various candidates for governor of the state of Nuevo Leon Is out of the ordinary, and for some unknown reason President Diaz has pursued the policy of "hands off" and has left the candidates to work out their own salvation. The various factions have been holding' open-air meetings in which orators have denounced each other, and th newspapers have published scandalous attijeks &M have de-ilt in diroci personal and outrageous Insults to men active in the contest. It is not expected tonight that any further disturbance such as today's will result. THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW. Beginning to Be Effective in Arizona Mines. Prescott, Ariz., April 2.
